Red Herring’s Top 100 Europe list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs.

We believe Copernica Marketing Software embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Copernica BV should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong.”
